Well, coming down to the wire. Am now looking for attributions. Not for images, but for the locations or sources. Everyone loves Job. Can anyone relate the source of these three images? I believe that the first is from "Bonaparte," but am not sure.

I guess I can take it for granted that Rochling's images were individual prints, instead of images taken from printed works? At this point, it is really a moot point, since they have been reproduced so many times.
I am curious as to your reactions as to the marketability of a work covering the first 220 years of Napoleonic artists and their work. Fifty artists will be covered and each will have three examples of their images displayed. A comprehensive overview of the changing technologies, market, and the attitude of the art world to this, the oldest form of historical realism, will be described. Do you think it has much of a chance?
Excellent work my friends!. Let's see if we can crack a harder nut! Three images from Lutzen, Kulm, and Gohrde by the master Carl Rochling. We know what the images are, do we know where they are located or what printed source they are from?
The first and second ones are from "Bonaparte". Check it out here:
The third one apparently is from a private collection - according to this site: https://www.bridgemanimages.com/de/job/jacques-marie-gaston-onfroy-de-breville-dit-job-1858-1931-le-dernier-carre-a-waterloo-18-june-1815/lithograph/asset/4641342
The second one also comes up as by JOB
The second
The first one is: Illustration of a Young Napoleon Studying at College Jacques Onfroy de Breville (JOB)
